    CultureIn Britain and America, teddy bears are typically given to babies and very young children. Some older children, and even some adults, still have the teddy bears that they had when they were younger. The first teddy bears were made in the US, where they were named after President Theodore Roosevelt (known as Teddy), because he was thought to have saved a very young bear while hunting one day.
